The DirecTV contract with the NFL was renewed within the last 2 years for 10 years. So there's some time to find the "replacement" model. I think they'll be tinkering with it for awhile. I watched a few games on my iPad and they weren't bad, but agree it's not the way to do.

I pay $4000 a year for season tickets, plus the travel to go to 3-4 games, plus the loss I take on tickets that don't sell because the team sucks. I'm not paying another $25 to stream a game. I had to get a Fire TV stick (because I didn't want to mess with HDMI and my smart TV is too old to be compatible with Win10) ... plus remember that internet providers will, sooner or later (some already do) start charging per usage. I can only imagine what it would cost to stream a few games a month on top of PPV. EJ to Hogan is tempting though.

The fact that it's on at 6:30 a.m. here in the West isn't causing me angst - but it occurs to me that the higher the viewership, the more likely we're going to see this continue. Only in the future, it will be PPV. So that means you can pay for Sunday Ticket and still get screwed. Hence, I am not going to watch. I hope that it will be on NFL Replay. Screw you Goodell.

Bingo. Because that would have been "political" and "unpatriotic". Give me liberty or give me freedom fries. By the way, I don't like Hillary. But I'm sick of my tax dollars being wasted to go after the Clintons. They constantly fail because there really isn't much there. GOP=#FAIL in general. And while I'm at it, it's not a coincidence that "constipated" and "conservative" both begin with "con".

I think Benghazi is Arabic for "dead horse".

I'm on the Left too. Still trying to decide if I'm getting up that early on Sunday. I'm usually awake but...It may not be worthwhile getting out of bed for.

https://www.laprogressive.com/republicans-for-sanders/ Bernie Sanders is pretty much what he's always been. He comes from a state that has a large conservative population, and gets a good portion of Republican votes. He appeals to a broad range of people because his words and actions focus on what's important to the "common man". He's not ga-ga over gun control. He thinks we have better things to spend our money on that starting endless wars. He promotes caring for our veterans, our teachers, our children. Can't argue with any of that. It's nice to have someone who is "pro" something than "anti-everything" which seems prevalent. I will hold my nose and vote for Hillary over any of the current GOP clown car residents, but I wonder about Sanders' ability to win an election not because of his policies but because in this ignorant, shallow country called America he looks like a crazy person sometimes. Or that's how he will be portrayed. Of course, compared to Trump he would appear sedate. Also consider the fact that people love to label and get invested in labels. You drive on a road, call a cop, send your kid to public school, have a soldier fight for you, rely on an air traffic controller to get your plane up and down safely - socialism. Like it or not. Get a grip. I I'd have preferred to see Elizabeth Warren run myself.

Welcome back - I was going to say something nice about right-wing politics to show I cared, but that shock might cause you to relapse. Glad you're doing well!

Bungles 31 Bills 6

Rex is just playing games. But all this personnel add/drop reminds me of my fantasy team. Sheesh.

Amen. Many is the time I sat at the Ralph and breathed a sigh of relief when we got in FG range, knowing Norwood was automatic. It became a standing joke with us "Oh thank GOD we're in FG range!". Bills in the glory years did lay down some stinkers. Difference is they never lay down and died but usually fought and sometimes it worked out. The first half was lousy, almost like that opening penalty against Easley took all the wind out of their sails. But they hung in. The Bills have losing in their DNA and it's going to take awhile until they have a winning mentality - it's something you have to learn to do. Aside from the cheating, the Pats win because they never doubt they can.

Speaking of dangerous ball-carrying...Tyrod will break our hearts one day. Watching him rush for that TD was soooo exciting but scary as he stuck that ball out in the air for anyone to swipe....

That's right, today's a "holiday" and all the kids are home from school. Maybe go do some homework instead of posting pessimistic drivel. Or jump on someone else's bandwagon. The team has a lot of new guys, a new coach, a new system. And a LOT of hype. Everyone needs to settle down and plan to grind through the season.

should be a pretty good Bills presence there. now if Rex will only STFU about how we're going to mash mariota, it should be a good game (from a Bills fan perspective)

Seahawks seem to always get the benefit of this stuff. And in typical, bandwagon don't-know-shirt-about-football Seattle style, the 12s are all disputing the rule. The fact that their own coach knew about it and admitted they got away with one doesn't stop them. They are so clueless. On the upside, it's fun to see them running scared when their "Legion of Dumb" has yet to make an INT, Russell Wilson is running his little legs off while Least Mode sits in the box eating Skittles. Seahawk fans should thank God for the 13s because without them, they'd have far less "success".

12 penalties * 10 pushups = 170 and "10 or so" could be anything. I think they need more conditioning anyway, the injuries are appalling, so throw in some more stuff while you're at it, Rex.

Jerry Jones, Robert Kraft...oooh I bet Snyder is seething that they cut him out. Betcha he turns up somewhere.

Yeah, not looking forward to 10/25 for that reason. Not sure I really want to get up that early on a Sunday. but since we're going to be back east for the Gnatfest, figure it's better to listen to a game than all the pre-game hype.

We'll be driving to Buffalo in the morning and might as well listen - does anyone know what station if any will carry this game?C Could stream on the iPad from CBS Sports but that gets a little pricey. tks!

Any time I see a reference to "Breitbart" and "POS" in one thread, I have to applaud.

How long has Hammer's Lot been Hammer's Lot? My first memory of parking there was for that Raider's game with the -50 windchill. We pulled in, my friend got out of the car and the first thing she did was crack open an ice-hold beer. I still laugh at that - she could barely hold it with her mittens on and the rest of us were huddled around burn barrels trying to stay warm. Fun times.

Bills 24, Giants 21

Still can't believe that book isn't getting more traction. It's pretty hard to argue.

Houston is an armpit. Indulge the poor guy.

Obviously would have loved to win the game, and clearly with Brady it didn't happen....BUT, it was valuable in terms of LEARNING, assuming the following LEARNING took place: 1) Rex - STFU. Talk trash afterwards. The Bills should know by now trash-talking doesn't help (Stevie Johnson anyone?) 2) Tyrod may have been in the league 4 years, but this was his second start. So considering he's not much more than a rookie he did pretty darned well. 3) Rex - don't try to outsmart Bellichick. Try OUTPLAYING him. 4) Everyone - don't believe your own hype, don't get ahead of yourselves and don't despair.
